MBA where?

[Hotdogman1]

At my CC, the minimum requirement to adjunct is 15 RA graduate credits in a subject. You apply for an open adjunct position and get added to a pool of applicants. When there is a need, the department chair picks out a couple CVs from the pool and hires them.

There was an issue last semester where they needed additional instructors for Intro to Business. I work once a week at the testing center and was familiar with the department chair, so I agreed to teach despite only having 24 business graduate credits. I should have given it more thought since balancing a full-time job, part-time grad school, and instructing (in person) for the first time was much more demanding than I expected. On a side note, I don't work at the CC for the money, but I made more per hour at the testing center than instructing (including prep and grading). If the goal is to just instruct, then any business degree should suffice. It might differ per institution but my department chair didn't care about the business accreditation as long as it is regionally accredited (only for adjunct, different story for professors). This also doesn't apply to CCs in general since almost every STEM/English/History adjunct had PhDs.

Open your local CC's internal Job page. There should be millions of adjunct job postings and they should contain pay and minimum education information. Reach out to the department chair and ask if 25 work experience + Bachelor's would be enough to start instructing. If they require a full masters, check the minimum requirement for College 101 courses as they tend to only require a bachelor's degree and could serve as a stepping stone to teaching business courses in the future.
